Life Under Different Opinions Series

Contributed by Peter Naveen Saketi on Aug 24, 2021

Jesus asked His disciples in Matthew 16:13 - 19 What do people think about me? In other words.... 1. People's opinions about us: It is good to build our testimony among people and measure our lives as per the standard of social life. But do not be bound by the opinions of people. Which ...read more

If We Ever Needed To See God

Contributed by Mark A. Barber on Feb 7, 2021

When We Really Need to See God Mark 9:2-9 Transfiguration Sunday comes every year just before Ash Wednesday. There are only three Gospel texts which tell about the Transfiguration, so it becomes a challenge to repeat a story we have heard so many times. The accounts are quite similar. Luke adds ...read more

"Jesus, The Exclusive Savior”

Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on Feb 24, 2021

Called Out: The Role Of The Church

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jul 14, 2022

Jesus Christ is the Head of the Church, and no one else (Matthew 16:13-19). We have strayed from what the Scriptures teach about the church's purpose and responsibilities and instead allowed the world's opinions take precedence over what we are to be and do.

When we hear the word "church", most of us think of a building or membership in a particular denomination with standards, beliefs, and guidelines for worship, order, the reading and use of Scripture, and sermons. The problem is that far too many people now view the church as a symbol ...read more

The life of discipleship has three steps: attachment, understanding, and imitation.

God is unquestionably the world’s greatest fisherman. And he’s not at all offended by the description, either, because that is what he called us to be.
